Picture-Taking Modes
Mode Description
Auto For general picture taking—offers an excellent balance of image
quality and ease of use.
PASM For ultimate creative control. Choose from Program, Aperture
priority, Shutter priority, and Manual modes. See
page 19 to
page 21 for a full discussion of PASM mode.
Sport For subjects that are in motion.
Portrait For full-frame portraits of people. Allows the subject to be sharp and
the background to be indistinct. For best results, position your
subject at least 6 ft (2 m) away and fill the frame with a head and
shoulders pose. Use the T (Telephoto) zoom button to exaggerate
background blur.
Night For night scenes or low-light conditions. Shutter speed may be slow,
so place the camera on a flat, steady surface or use a tripod. Due to
slow shutter speeds, advise people to stay still for a few seconds after
the flash fires.
Video Capture video with sound. See Taking a Video, page 45 .
For the best possible pictures, choose
the mode that suits your conditions.
